The Trump administration in the US has taken a major decision. The Trump administration has banned visa interviews of foreign students. The administration has instructed all American Embassy and Consulate not to take new student visa interviews. These steps have been taken under a plan to make the intensive investigation of social media accounts compulsory. Along with this, the Donald Trump government in the US has issued a new order for foreign students. The Trump administration has said that if a student leaves the course, class does not go or leaves studies, then his student visa can be canceled.
The US embassy posted on X and said that it could also eliminate the eligibility for future visas. Significantly, a large number of Indian students study in American universities. The message of the State Department sent said that the consulate sections should not add any additional student or exchange visa appointment capacity until any further guidelines are issued. This instruction applies to the student and exchange visa, which many foreign students need to study in the US.
This ban can cause long delays in the visa process and may affect universities that depend on international students for income. According to the NAFSA Association, over a million international students were studying in the US last year, who contributed about $ 43.8 billion to the US economy. The new policy comes at a time when the Trump administration is considering tightening the rules for student visas. The government says that it wants to expand social media investigation for all student visa applicants. Consulate officials will be expected to look at posts, likes, comments and stocks on platforms like Instagram, Ticketkock and X, to find out that there is any material that is a threat to national security.
